The four young hip kids of The Shoreline play average synth-touched pop-punk and are guilty — just like the rest of their genre’s latest batch of cohorts — of creating a Myspace page with far too many cartoon graphics and cutesy pics of themselves. It’s makes me nauseated even before listening to their music. Callahan, Pathway to Providence, Terra Terra Terra and The End of April back them up. Weds., Aug. 26, 7 p.m., Orpheum, 1902 E. Eight Ave., Ybor City, $8. -- Leilani Polk

Weds., Aug. 26, 6-7 p.m., NoHo Bistro, 1714 N. Armenia Ave., Tampa, $15, 813-514-0691.
